Pippa Pennington

about this book: Sniffer can't believe how exciting Christmas is. There's delicious mince pies, turkey to taste, chocolates to pull off a wonderful tree that has lots of twinkling lights, and some carrots which were obviously left out for him. So why do Mr and Mrs Love, Sniffer's house companions, keep shouting and putting him out in the cold garden? Then, there's a strange man, who turns up in the middle of the night dressed in a red suit, who doesn't seem too pleased with him either. All Sniffer wants is fun, so why does he always end up in trouble? Sniffer's First Christmas will appeal to children who love Christmas, and puppies who get into mischief. A read together book for young children, a starting to read alone book with easy language and a fun book for confident readers.

Pippa Pennington is a primary trained teacher who has cared for and fostered over thirty dogs and puppies so far. Sniffer is based on the many furry friends who have a sniffy nose that gets in everywhere it's not wanted.
